THE NEXT BATTLE.
IT WILL BB FOUGHT WITHIN A
FEW DAYS.
Sampson Will Attack and Demolish
the Cape Verde Fleet-Congress
Extends Thants to Dewey.
Washington, May 9—Cable ad
vices from Rear Admiral Sampson an
nounce his arrival off the coast of
, Hayti with a division of bis fleet. He
will remain at the point Where he is
now located until one of the scouts in
forms him of th* appearance of tbe
Spanish men-of-war, which sailed from
St, Vincent nine days ago.
Although press reports have been
published announcing that the Span
ish fleet has arrived at San Juan and
i off Martinique, tbe department has
beard nothing from the American
liners acting as scouts confirming such
reports, and the consular officers of
, this government in tbe West Indies
i are silent.
The officers are under instructions
to report to the department of state
, any reliable information of the pres
i ence of any Spanish men-ot war.
Tbe uaval board has calculated tbe
Spanish squadron to be it, or near
; Porto Rico by Ibis time and- it is in
i th? hope of bottling np tbe fleet in
tbe harbor of San Juan that the men*,
of-war of the North Atlantic squadron
| are hovering within a shorj, distance
i of Porto Rico.
Boeac*ppreheusiou exists in naval
i circles of the possibility that tbe
■ Spanish vessels scout at night or in
; raisly weather, in which event of
course it will be more difficult to find
them.
Tba story published this morning
that 60,000 American volunteers would
leave at once for Cuba is premature.
Nothing will be done in ibis matter
until the battle at Porto Rico. No
troops will be sent to San Juan until
after (he battle. The president’s policy
in regard to Poro Rico is the same* in
regard to We PWlippiwffl
He will first destroy tbe Spanish
fleet and then occupy tbq island. Tbe
policy ol the government is now clear
and well defined. The war is to be
pushed with each vigor and aggres
siveness as to insure its early termi
nation. Tbe seis.ure of Porto Rico
and the destruction of tbe Cape
Verde fleet,if it has crossed .the At
lantic, wifi be followed swiftly by such
a movement upon Cuba as Captain
General Blanco and all his forces can
not withstand. Real war will be
waged, regardless of its cost. Tbe
Spaniards will be overwhelmed and
driven to surrender.
Tbe advance force of 5,000 men that
will leave San Francisco for tbe Phil
ippine Islands, witbin a few days, to
re-enforce Admiral Dewey, will be fol
lowed by additional men, np to 30,000
if needed, to insure absolute control of
the plans. —L. -
No apprehension is felt as to Dew
ey’s ability tu remain master of tbe
situation The United States flag
will be hoisted over the government
building at Manila in dye season,
tbere*ito remain un(i) the war is over,if
not permanently.
The following is the joint resolution
offeiiug tbe thanks of congees to Ad
miral Dewey introduced in the house
today and passed without division in
both houses:
"Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
1 of America, in congress assembled,
That io'pursuauce of the recommends
lion of the president, made in ecoor
dance with the provisions of section
1508 of tbe revised statutes, tbe thanks
, of congress and of the American peo
ple are hereby tendered to Commcw
dore George Dewey, U. 8 N-, com
mander-in chief of tbe Asiatic squadron
for highly distinguished conduct in
conflict With tbe enemy as displayed
i by him in the destruction of tbe Span

i "Section/2 That the thanks of con
gress and of tbe American people are
, hereby extended, througb Commodore

COON CRAP SHOOTERS I

By the Police
While Georgia’s sharp shootsra
were mobilizing at Camp Norihen last
Sunday, Griffin’s coon crip shooters
were assembling at their rendezvous
out in the woods back of the soldiers '
cemetery.
The erap shooters were not forced
to wail on the government for tbeir
equipments, but carried the necessary
dice, raizou and pistols, and by noon
bad been mustered into service about
twelve strong.
Officers Connor and Fly nt, who
were on duty kt that time, heard of
tbe gathering of tl is gang of wortbv ,
less negros,and securing a squad of
deputies went out at 2 o’clock in the
afternoon to arrest them.
The negroes saw the officers ap
proaching when they took to their
heels, scattering in every direction
and running as only a frightened ne
gro can run when pursued by an offi.
cer With a gnu. Indeed they were bo
fleet footed that only four were cap
tured, they being Clark Pryor, Doc
Mathews, Hehry Halliday and John
Holman.
Pryor Was tried before Judge W. H.
Beck yesterday morning and plead
guilty to the charge of gaming He»
must have been tbe winner in the
game, as he paid the fine of S2O which
the court imposed upon bim.
Mathews, Halliday and Holman de
manded trial by a jury and tbeir casee
will come up at tbe nex.t term of tbe
City court.

Deafness Cannot bs Cured.
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed - condition of tbe
mucous lining oi the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rambling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when ills entirely closed, Deafhess Is the
result, and unless the inflamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, heating will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh

A INVARffiG ARMY.
Eighty Thousand Men 4o Be Sent to
Cuba- \
Washington, May 9.—The Post this
tUprniog said : , „ '
"Between sixth and eighty thousand
men will be landed on Cuban soil at
once. ’’ They will wear tbe uniform.of
the United States and they will) not
return; until they have defeated the
Spanish forces on the island and the
Ameman flag floats as proudly over
Havafla as it does over the ruins of
the Covite fortress in Manila harbor-
This is tbe idea of the milittAy alvisors
of theHbdmipislration, and the presi
dent baa approved tbe plans.
‘ Tbe first section of the army to in
vade Cuba will beibe 15,000 or 18,000
troops that are now assembled at New
Orleans and Tampa. They are all
regulars and moat of them are men
who'bave seen fighting service on tbe
plains. They are seasoned, disciplin
ed, effective They will be followed at
once by another army of 50,000 volun
teerl, who will be concentrated at
Southern porta as qaickly as tbe trains
can cany them, and will be transport
ed as fast aa the necessary ships can
be.qjtfftfitefL It estimated that it
will take at least 300 vessels lo mbte
this immense army te Cuba
"Nearly everything that floats has
already been secured by the govern*
ment, and last night the wires were
hot in all directions, directing con
tracts to be closed immediately in all
tbe principal seaport towns.
"Other details of tbe great expedi
tion have been arranged. Within 48
hours there will be 2,000 wagons at
Tampa and 12,000 mules. Several
hundred ambulancas will also be hur
ried to Tampa. They may be Deeded.
Battles are not all like tbe one that
has just been fought in Manila harbor ’’
